Corrective: A Six Day Journey

Peter Ferentzy is a recovering drunk and a recovering crackhead. He knows this topic from the gutter right up to the halls of academe. After losing two friends to overdose, and seeing clearly that in each case the governing approach to addiction was the cause, Peter wrote Dealing with Addiction -- Why the 20th Century was Wrong. The Corrective is an extension of that agenda, showing as it does that persons with substance use issues can – without completely quitting drug and alcohol use – accomplish much more than mainstream authorities would have you believe. In this case they manage to “stave off World War Three, derail the prison system, ‘liberate’ half a million captive animals, settle ethnic strife in Eastern Europe, unite warring Muslim nations in the Middle East, and generate prosperity in Sudan” (from front cover with special thanks to Stanton Peele).
